What does love look like for a man who was never taught how to name it?

In this raw and unfiltered episode, we dive into how men experience love—when the only examples they had were silence, survival, or sacrifice. From childhood lessons to adult relationships, we unpack the difference between showing up and actually feeling, between protecting someone and letting them in.

We talk about what love was supposed to be… what it turned into… and how to rebuild something real from the ruins.

No performance. No posturing. Just two men sitting with the truth.

Because between storms— there’s space to let it in.

Every man carries it.

The quiet pressure to stay strong, provide without complaint, and perform an image that was never fully his. In this episode, we open the door to a conversation many never had—with the honesty of two generations sitting across from each other, asking where the pressure began... and what it’s still costing us.

From the early moments of “be a man” to the emotional toll of trying to live up to a version of masculinity no one explained—we explore fatherhood, survival, identity, and the unspoken rules men inherit. With space for disagreement, reflection, and a few unexpected pop culture mirrors, this episode peels back the performance and asks what’s underneath.

Because between generations… between performances… There’s a truth we’ve been carrying too long.

And between storms—there’s finally space to put it down.

Anger doesn’t always look like rage. Sometimes, it looks like silence. Withdrawal. Pressure with no release.

In this episode of Between Storms, we talk about the kind of anger men aren’t allowed to admit... the kind that builds quietly over years of being told to “man up,” “stay strong,” or “hold it in.” As a father and son, we unpack how that anger showed up in our home, in ourselves, and between each other—and what it was really trying to say underneath.

We explore:

• The difference between survival and suppression
• How emotional fear gets mistaken for aggression
• The moments we misunderstood each other
• And what it means to finally face what we’ve buried

This isn’t about toxic masculinity, it’s about emotional honesty. Because if you’ve ever felt like you had to hold it all together… This one’s for you.
